VVTA’s annual Fare Media Program for the 2026 season is accepting applications from Non-Profit Agencies through February 13th, 2026.
This Scholarship Program is designed for nonprofit agencies to assist low-income individuals, those with disabilities, or seniors who currently lack transportation options or are unfamiliar with the VVTA system and therefore are unable to utilize it.
The Fare Media Program helps individuals utilize the local transit system, as well as to help subsidize the cost of their travel. It is VVTA’s goal to utilize these funds to the maximum extent possible and serve as many individuals as possible. Non-profit organizations that serve these communities and these individuals may apply on behalf of their clients for these funds.
Let VVTA help get your clients get to where they need to go!
Long trips should not stand between you and the care you need or the obligations you must meet. The Needles Cactus Commuter (NCC) Program was created to help eligible low-income Needles residents travel to the Victor Valley area for important medical appointments and court-mandated appearances through a mileage reimbursement program.
Whether you drive yourself or ask a trusted friend or loved one to take you, the program may reimburse you for the miles traveled. Participants may be eligible to receive reimbursement for up to 1,100 miles per month.
Many Needles residents face significant challenges when trying to access medical specialists, dialysis, oncology services, or court appearances in Victorville. The long distance, limited transportation options, and financial strain of repeated trips can make these essential appointments difficult to keep. The Needles Cactus Commuter Program was designed specifically to remove these barriers and provide practical support for those who need it most.
This program operates on a mileage reimbursement model and focuses only on essential trip purposes. At this time, reimbursement is limited to travel for medical appointments in the Victor Valley area and court appearances at the San Bernardino County Courthouse in Victorville.
To qualify, participants must live in the Needles area and have household income at or below Federal Poverty Guidelines, with a proposed program income ceiling of $32,150. Participation is based on both income eligibility and approved trip types.
Participants are required to track and report their mileage each month and provide proof of their trip. Reports must be submitted by the 10th of each month in order to be processed. Incomplete reports cannot be reimbursed. Reimbursements are distributed monthly, and participants must choose to receive their funds either by Direct Deposit or through a FinTwist card.
The Needles Cactus Commuter Program is a Partnership between
